This year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of Chemical Elements in 1869. In celebration, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural ...

The periodic table captures a subtle pattern that runs through the chemical elements, the fundamental building blocks of everything around us: from the aluminium in bike frames to the xenon gas in ...

One hundred fifty years after Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev published his system for neatly arranging the elements, the periodic table it gave birth to hangs in every chemistry classroom in the ...

Researchers used a particle accelerator and co-precipitation to study the chemical reactivity of single rutherfordium atoms. Such experiments will continue the advancement of relativistic chemistry ...

This wasn’t the first time a jingle has been written about the elements. In fact, a similar song was written in 1959 by Tom Lehrer. But, apart from being fun study tools, this year we have even more ...

Every field of science has its favorite anniversary. For physics, it’s Newton’s Principia of 1687, the book that introduced the laws of motion and gravity. Biology celebrates Darwin’s On the Origin of ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

The Chemistry Graduate Student Association and the American Chemical Society Drexel Student Affiliates had a very important prayer for the afternoon of Oct. 24: A relatively clear day with little to ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

Think the current Periodic Table of chemical elements are neat and elegant? When it first debuted in the mid-nineteenth century, it looked nothing like what it is now: it only has 60 elements and ...

This year we celebrate the 150th anniversary of one of the most significant breakthroughs in science, the creation of a tool that allows us to make sense of the basic ingredients of our universe, and ...
